Social media for business requires you to be mindful of your customers.

How Quickly Should You Respond to Social Media DMs?

Less than an hour. That’s what they’ll tell you. Who’s ‘they?’ Blogs, articles, certain studies. Ask any digital marketing executive – social media for business is not fun and games, even if it might seem like that at the outset. Responding within an hour is not easy! While I can personally whine about dwindling attention spans and the repercussions of instant gratification, as a marketer I must succumb to these consumer realities.
